There are "seven or eight" Dungeons & Dragons videogames in the works

Dungeons & Dragons may be enjoying a cultural relevance it hasn't seen since the 1980s, but while its fifth edition has flourished it hasn't been well represented in videogames. (...)
The announcements of new Baldur's Gate and Dark Alliance games suggest a change, and that's backed up by Wizards of the Coast. In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz, Wizards of the Coast president Chris Cocks explained that this is only the beginning and there are "seven or eight" videogames based on D&D coming out in the next few years.

I fairly recently got fully back into pen&paper D&D after 30 or so years (and started DM-ing no less), 5th edition is quite solid system, very easy to get into, though not without some bigger issues that call for homebrewing or houseruling, but the freedom of tabletop RPGs...oh dear...I think I've started actively shunning video game RPGs due to how limited they are, even when they have great narrative and systems, compared to P&P RPGs...

Anyway, hopefully at least one of those games will be great, Baldur's Gate 3 probably being good candidate for that already, given that it's made by Larian, but I'm hoping that others won't be just fast half-hearted attempts at milking the revived popularity of D&D...cause, as much as they are limited, I still want to see something as good as Planescape: Torment or Baldur's Gate 1&2, games that still stand as pinnacle of VG D&D RPGs.
